Let's Name Every Easter-Themed Movie You Could Possibly Watch This Sunday

There's a movie for every special occasion/holiday, but when it comes to Easter you've got a lot of very, very different viewing options. Why go the traditional bunnies and kiddies route (a la Hop) or take a more pious tack (Passion of the Christ, anyone?) when there are so many other, less predictable ways to celebrate? I'll start with a few to whet your whistle as you dip into the chocolate basket this Sunday...

Easter Parade (1948)

Fred Astaire + Judy Garland + hats make Easter about winning that special guy/gal's heart and not about, you know, Jesus.

--

Critters 2: The Main Course (1988)

Those aren't Easter Eggs -- they're Critter eggs! Hunt carefully.

--

Mallrats (1995)

"You know what?? THERE IS NO EASTER BUNNY!" Thanks a lot, Kevin Smith.

--

Resurrection (1999)

"All the victims were 33 years old -- the same age as Christ when he died." This forgotten gem stars Christopher Lambert -- who also co-wrote the script! MAKE YOUR EASTER SUNDAY A HORROR EASTER SUNDAY!

Flipping around channels last night, I ran across a horrible (direct to video I am sure) horror movie called (I think?) "Bunnyman" that involved someone in a bunny suit violently torturing and killing people. So.... there's that. (it was seriously disturbing in a "am I really seeing this?" way; sort of like the time I accidentally ran across clown porn).

This was back in the '90s when I was in high school, a friend of mine had one of those descrambler boxes where you got access to random cable channels, we were switching around the dial one night and... there it was. Of course, I guess it could have been worse - bunny suit porn?
